When is my data connection dormant?

If no data is received for 10 seconds, the connection goes dormant. When the connection is dormant, voice calls are allowed. (The connection may become active again quickly.) If no data is received for an extended period of time, the connection will terminate.

Can I sign out of data services?

You can sign out without turning off your phone; however, you will not be able to browse the Web or use other Sprint PCS Vision services. While signed out, you can still place or receive phone calls, check voicemail, and use other voice services. You may sign in again at any time. To

sign out, go to Menu ( ) > Settings ( ) > PCS Vision

( ) > Disable Vision ( ) in your phone’s menu.
